"Back before the Great Chicago Omakase Restaurant Influx of 2018, there was Kai Zan. This BYOB sushi spot has been around since 2012 and continues to have one of the best omakase options in the city—and also one of the most affordable. For $90 you get 10 courses of delicious sushi and Japanese small plates, including dishes like scallop shooters that you probably won’t see on other menus. If you’re someone who prefers controlling their own destiny, you can order from a separate a la carte menu of sashimi and nigiri instead." - josh barnett, john ringor
